| The Uno and Duo Lunchbots are perfect for kids' lunches. I avoid disposable sandwich bags like the plague, but the plastic sandwich boxes I got at the grocery store take up so much room in a lunchbox. Plus, I was getting tired of sending multiple containers for the kids to pry open and then keep up with. The Lunchbots are great--easy for kids to open, and the compartments are a good size for my 4- and 6-year old children. They're easy to clean because there aren't any nooks and crannies for food to get jammed into, and they can go right into the dishwasher. I've read reviews that the paint comes off the lid--I haven't experienced this, but I don't think it would really bother me anyway. I love these Lunchbots and will probably end up buying more. ... more |

| I bought these to use for my son who is in 3rd grade for his school lunch. They seem to be well made but are bigger than I thought and heavy. I find that I tend to reach for the reusable snack and sandwich bags more often. I find these are easier to pack in his lunch box and not as cumbersome. ... more |

| These take up a little too much room in the lunchboxes. Also, it would be more useful to me if one side was larger than the other so I could fit a dollop of hummus on the small side and lots of chips or veggies on the other. But, still, they have been useful and my kids like using them, although I don't use them as often as some of the other products I have purchased from this site. ... more |

After searching a long time for a safe, simple, stainless-steel food container, we're excited about 100%-stainless-steel LunchBots. These perfectly-portioned lunch containers make it easy to avoid the possible toxins and waste of plastic containers, baggies & aluminum foil. With two simple designs - the Uno for main dishes and the Duo for sides and snacks - LunchBots are perfect eco-friendly carriers for a balanced lunch.
Please note: In general, we do not use bubble wrap to package our products. However, to prevent damage, these containers are shipped to us by the vendor in bubble wrap. We have decided to keep the wrap on to prevent damage in transit to our customers. We suggest reusing the bubble wrap to cut back on waste.
Dimensions
4.5" x 6.25" x 1.75"
Design & Functionality
LunchBots are eco-friendly, stainless steel containers for your sandwich, wrap or other favorite snacks and side dishes. Made from food-grade Type 304 stainless steel, your LunchBots won't stain, rust or leach harmful chemicals into your food (which is why they're such a great alternative to cheap plastic containers). The bottom of the boxes are uncoated stainless steel, and the top of the colorful lids are powder coated - no VOCs emitted. Your food only comes in contact with stainless steel. They're sleek & sturdy, so your food won't get crushed, and a set of two fits perfectly in ACME's "6-Pack" lunch bag with room to spare. Also available in large Eco and small Pico designs.
With snack-sized partitions, LunchBots Duos make it easy to buy fruit and snacks in bulk, which helps you save money over time. For more information, check out our article on waste-free lunches. Note that while LunchBots' lids fit tightly to hold in food, they're not water-tight & are best for solid foods. For liquid items like salad dressing, we recommend packing a Nalgene 2 oz. jar.
Materials
LunchBots are made from high-quality, food-grade Type 304 stainless steel. It resists stain and rust due to its chromium content, making it a favored material in food processing, dairy and brewing. It's also one of the safest materials for food storage and handling, because it's easy to clean, durable and sanitary. LunchBots have been tested and certified by Metallurgical Laboratories Type 300-series stainless steel and are lead free. View the lab results.
Stainless steel is an iron-containing alloy made from some of the basic elements found in earth: iron ore, silicon, nickel, carbon, nitrogen and manganese. Properties of the final alloy are tailored by varying amounts of these elements. There are more than 57 stainless steels recognized as standard alloys on the market. High-quality, sanitary-grade 304 stainless steel has low nickel content. It has excellent resistance to stain or rust due to its chromium content, making it a material of choice among the food processing, dairy and brewery industries. It's easy to clean, durable, inert and sanitary.
Sustainability
LunchBots eliminate the need for use-and-toss plastic baggies, wraps and aluminum foil, saving money and natural resources over time. Since stainless steel containers do not leach harmful chemicals like certain plastics do, they are a healthy, eco-friendly lunch-time alternative.
About Lunch Bots
LunchBots was born from its founder's belief in stainless steel as a healthier alternative to plastic - for our bodies and the planet. LunchBots' mission is to create safe, fun and usable food containers that are free from the toxins associated with some plastics. The company uses only lead-free, non-VOC and BPA-free materials manufactured responsibly in China by a company that has applied for ISO 9000 certification.
Care Instructions
Top-rack dishwasher safe. As with any other stainless steel product, we recommend hand-washing with mild detergent.
Stainless steel does not rust. If your container appears to have rusted, it is a harmless residue left behind from the electro-polishing process. (Electro charges remove fine particles from the stainless steel surface, remove impurities and seal it. Harmless electrolytes are left behind and may turn a rust color).
Country of Origin
Manufactured responsibly in China

I bought two sets of each for my kids and ended up using the Uno for myself! One kid wants a full size sandwich which fits nicely in the Uno. I put a napkin on top and she's ready to eat at lunch. The lids are easy to open for my kids, easier than plastic lids on Tupperware items that we used before. My younger daughter wants half a sandwich and grapes/apple slices so the Duo works well for her. Sometimes we go totally veggie with fruit on one side and cucumber/baby carrots/cherry tomatoes/celery sticks on the other side. Never any problem with food sliding over or leaking. These lunchbots are very easy to clean. I handwash them every day and let them air dry. We use the Klean Kanteen 12 oz bottles (with sport top) with the Uno/Duo LunchBots in our Built NY lunchboxes. For snacktime at school, the fabric snack pouches. All these metal items are so much easier to clean than plastic; that in itself is a reason to switch over!

Great product--highly recommend! Construction is better than I expected -- not at all flimsy. I love how these containers open and close almost effortlessly, but somehow they stay closed securely on their own. Perfect sizes for lunch items, too. Kid-friendly, too. My 3-year-old enjoys having his lunch packed in these. I only wish there was a watertight one I could purchase for packing yogurt and such.

I really enjoy using my lunchbot container. I also bought the larger Eco container and between the two have plenty of room for my lunch. You have to be careful not to put anything moist on one side and something dry on the other - the dry part is bound to get a little wet. Overall, a very good container for my lunch.

The Uno barely fits a sandwich, with no room to sp
by Jeanine D - 11/2009
The Uno barely fits a sandwich, with no room to spare. That makes it hard for little kids to get the sandwich out. I would like it to be about a 1/4" longer. Other than that, I love the fact that they're stainless steel, easy to clean, they keep the sandwich from getting squished, and they're easy to open and close.
I also bought the Duo, which is a good product, but I'll just have to figure out 2 dry snacks that go together. I think it'll be good for something like crackers and cheese to keep them separated.

These are great. The only thing is that I didn't realize my 4 and 5 year old would have a difficult time getting the covers off by themselves when they are at school. They are tricky for little hands. Otherwise, great product.

This container is so cool
by Megan P - 10/2009
This container is so cool. My daughter says all her kindergarten friends admire it. Great for holding 2 different snacks: almonds and apple slices or celery sticks and peanut butter for dipping. I wish they came in smaller sizes (like half the size of this one) so it would pack more easily in a lunchbox. Easy to clean.

Love these containers. I use them for my daughter lunch almost every day. The one with the divider is awesome for 2 snack options and the other one (with out divider) hold a sandwich perfectly and we don't need to worry about it getting smooshed.
